CUSIP No.  891041 10 5

     The Schedule 13D previously filed and amended by the undersigned 
(the "Reporting Persons") with respect to the Common Stock, $.15625 par 
value, of Toreador Royalty Corporation (the "issuer") is hereby further
amended as follows:

Item 3 is amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:

     Item 3  Source and Amount of Funds or Other
	     Consideration:

	     As to 188,000 shares, portfolio funds of
	     Firethorn I Limited Partnership.

	     As to 111,000 shares, personal funds of
	     Peter L. Falb.

	     As to 396,800 shares, portfolio funds of
	     investment advisees of Dane, Falb, Stone &
	     Co., Inc.

Item 4 is amended and supplemented by the following information:

     Item 4  Purpose of Transaction:

	     All the shares were purchased and are being held
	     for investment purposes.  Decreases in the number of
	     shares owned as reported herein from the numbers
	     previously reported are due to a shift of management 
	     contracts with two clients. Ownership of the shares 
	     is as follows: 

	     (a)  Investment advisory clients of Dane,
	     Falb, Stone & Co., Inc. ("DFS"), an investment
	     adviser registered under the Investment
	     Advisers Act of 1940, hold 396,800 shares.  Of
	     those shares, DFS has sole voting and
	     dispositive power with respect to 396,000
	     shares and shared voting and dispositive power
	     with respect to 800 shares.  Peter L. Falb and
	     Edward Nathan Dane are the principals and sole
	     stockholders of DFS and to the extent that DFS
	     has the power to vote and dispose of the
	     shares held by its investment advisory
	     clients, they share such power.  The
	     acquisition of such 396,800 shares was made in
	     the ordinary course of business and not with
	     the purpose nor with the effect of changing or
	     influencing the control of the issuer nor in
	     connection with or as a participant in any
	     transaction having such purpose or effect. 
	     The beneficial ownership by DFS of such shares
	     has properly been reported on Schedule 13G.

	     (b)  Mr. Falb owns 111,000 shares directly or
	     indirectly through family members.

	     or indirectly through family members or
	     otherwise.

	     (d)  Firethorn I Limited Partnership
	     ("Firethorn I") is a private investment
	     partnership which directly owns 188,000
	     shares.
